The Vincentian Fathers opened and ran the school, but in 1975 the Archdiocese of Miami assumed responsibility for the direction of the seminary.^[2] The seminary serves men of all the Catholic dioceses in the state of Florida, as well as other seminarians from various dioceses throughout the United States and the world. In accordance with the cultural makeup of South Florida, the seminary bills itself as bilingual, allowing seminarians the opportunity to pray and socialize in both Spanish and English.
